Moreover, already in stoppage time of the first half, at 48 minutes, Borré took advantage of a counterattack to open the scoring for Inter. Thus, after the break, Flamengo needed to chase the score.

And that’s what happened! At 21 minutes into the second half, Varela was brought down by Bernabei inside the box, and referee Rodrigo Pereira awarded a penalty to o Mais Querido. Thus, Arrascaeta leveled the score, securing a point for Fla.
